THE BEST TUNA SANDWICH



The Best Tuna Sandwich image

Years ago, there was a deli in the town I worked and everyday faithfully, I would stop there for the Tuna sandwich (which was the best ever!) I became friends with the older lady that always worked the deli and she gave me the recipe. I will never forget what she told me.."The more colors in your Tuna, the better the flavor" sadly, the deli went out of business, but I never forgot her recipe. This tuna has lots of veggies in it, but if you dice them very small, it's so good! Remember, Tuna is a finicky meal.. too much mayo makes it watery and too little makes it dry and fishy.. be sure to use your best judgement and liking. (This recipe makes a lot) you can lessen it

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (12 ounce) cans of solid albacore tuna (in water)
1 small green bell pepper (finely diced)
1 small red bell pepper (finely diced)
1 small onion (finely diced)
1 celery (finely diced)
2 medium sized dill pickles (finely diced)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise (heaping, use a regular kitchen tablespoon)

Steps:

  • Drain tuna very well and add to large bowl
  • dice all of the above very small as indicated and add to tuna.
  • I add about 3 -4 heaping kitchen sized tablespoons of Mayo into the tuna you may have to add a little more or a little less based on your preference
  • add a few shakes of black pepper and salt (opt).
  • Chill in airtight container in fridge. The longer you let it chill, the better the flavor. This can be served on pretty much any kind of bread. My personal favorite, onion rolls or seedless rye!
  • Hope you enjoy & agree this is one of the best Tuna Sandwiches!

MARTHA'S FAVORITE TUNA SALAD SANDWICH



Martha's Favorite Tuna Salad Sandwich image

This recipe for Martha's Favorite Tuna Salad Sandwich makes a healthy meal for lunch or dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces good-quality tuna, packed in oil, drained
2 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 apple, such as McIntosh or Gala, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise, preferably Ojai Cook's Lemonaise Light
2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 slices best-quality sourdough

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine tuna, celery, apple, mayonnaise, basil, and lemon juice; mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • On a work surface, divide tuna salad among 4 slices bread; top with remaining 4 slices bread. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water and not oil. This will help to keep the sandwiches light and refreshing.
  • Use a variety of ingredients. Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your tuna salad. Some popular additions include chopped celery, red onion, pickles, and hard-boiled eggs.
  • Season the tuna salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add a bit of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
  • Use fresh bread. The best tuna salad sandwiches are made with fresh, soft bread. You can use white bread, wheat bread, or even sourdough bread.
  • Toast the bread. Toasting the bread will help to keep the sandwiches from getting soggy. You can toast the bread in a toaster oven or on a skillet.
  • Spread the tuna salad evenly. Don't pile the tuna salad on too thick. Spread it evenly so that each bite has a good balance of tuna and bread.
  • Add your favorite toppings. After you've spread the tuna salad on the bread, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Tuna salad sandwiches are a classic lunch option that is easy to make and delicious to eat. By following these tips, you can make the best tuna salad sandwiches possible. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch, give tuna salad sandwiches a try.
